QF1 2012 - Reds vs Sharks

[JJJ]

Reds don't do well as favourites.

 

[Bardon]

Reds defence has been terrible so far. Could have been 2 tries down already.

 

[Bardon]

Well done Reds there turn an average kick from Harris into a superb one with that chasing.

 

[Ash]

Lucas gone. Kaplan not doing the Reds many favours but the Sharks are all over them.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Holy crap Lucas down!

Brendan Cannon said to Lucas "Have a good one", I blame him for the jinx.

 

[Ash]

Why is Frisby on?

Surely it should be Taps and Harris to 10.

 

[Ash]

Genia at 10.

Oh no.

 

[Bardon]

Lucas will be a big loss, he's had a pretty good game so far and he's spotted that there's space in behind the Sharks with them rushing up in defence.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Wow. What countering from the Sharks!

This is in complete contrast from what the Bulls served up earlier.

 

[Ash]

Sharks in after some wonderful play.

Have to imagine that it is all over for the Reds.

 

[FrankLind]

Reds fans boo anything and everything that does not go their way. I guess you could say its' passion.

Sharks all class. Reds average. But early days.

 

[Tordah]

i can see the whinging on the wall already about alleged forward passes.

 

[maxdacat]

Stop playing like knob jockies Reds!

 

[Ash]

It is high risk defence from the Sharks as their outside men rush up but it is working a treat. Then on the counter everything they throw sticks. Wonderful to watch but not great for the Reds.

 

[JJJ]

An extra week in the wallabies training setup under supercoach Deans will do them a world of good.

 

[Karl]

This is very bad

Another 'how long should he be suspended for that forward pass' thread coming up!

 

[Bardon]

Scoreline looking a little similar to the other QF but there still some fire in the Reds, they can get back into this one. One of the big problems with Genia going to 10 is the pass at 9 is much slower. Frisby has a tendency to take a few steps before passing.

 

[Ash]

Sharks not committing to the ruck by and large. Coming up quickly and forcing mistakes.

 

[Karl]

Reds look lost
